Los Angeles, May 19 (PTI) Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks
says his film "The Circle" shows how sometimes good ideas can
translate into a scary reality.

Hanks plays the role of a visionary, Bailey, in the James
Ponsoldt-directed internet thriller that released in India
today. Emma Watson also stars in the movie.

"Bailey is one of the three founding fathers of 'The
Circle'. He is the visionary, the idea man, not the fictional
guy and not the tech guy. He is the guy who dreams big," Hanks
said in a statement.

The actor says his film is an exploration of how the
internet can become this unmanageable giant.

"'The Circle' is that great thing that the internet hopes
to be and wants to be and dear God I hope it never becomes,"
Hanks said, adding that like "a lot of very good ideas it can
translate into living in a totalitarian dystopia."

Hanks said he loved working with Ponsoldt as the director
has a "real gift for capturing ordinary life in more like in
the side the superstructure of what the movie has to be.
